Studabakers

8.7
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Bar & Grill · Downtown Orillia · $$

Studabakers is easiest to use as a group pick, with wings, nachos, starters, team deals, sports-friendly energy, and a patio built for longer casual visits.

2

Brewery Bay Food Co

8.8
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Gastro Pub · Downtown Orillia · $$

Groups have easy menu math here: nachos and Pitachos are shareable, tacos come in threes, and wings, burgers, and wraps cover different appetites. Higher Ground and the events calendar add another reason to gather around a date.

3

The Hog & Penny

9.5
Group-Friendly · 7.0
British Pub · Downtown Orillia · $$

This is an easy group pub when friends want food and a shared reason to stay. Trivia, sing-alongs, social nights, and event-space details give it more group utility than a meal-only room.

4

Theo’s Eatery

8.8
Group-Friendly · 6.5
Italian · Monarch Drive / Hwy 12 Corridor · $$

Theo's makes sense for groups because reservations, takeout, delivery, and a broad list of dishes reduce friction. A group can split crab dip, choose pasta or chicken, add Caesar Salad, and still keep the meal in a familiar comfort-food range.

5

Hills Maple Leaf Restaurant

9.1
Group-Friendly · 6.5
Canadian · Monarch Drive / Hwy 12 Corridor · $

Groups have enough range here without turning the meal into a negotiation. Breakfast plates, burgers, clubhouses, chicken dinners, desserts and grab-and-go family meals give mixed appetites a straightforward path.

6

5 Rivers Restaurant & Bar

8.6
Group-Friendly · 6.5
Indian · Monarch Drive / Hwy 12 Corridor · $$

The booking path works for ordinary plans, and larger parties are directed to call ahead. With thalis, starters, biryani, curries, breads, and vegetarian options, the menu can cover mixed group orders cleanly.

7

Thai Plate Restaurant

9.0
Group-Friendly · 6.0
Thai · Downtown Orillia · $$

The room is compact, but Thai Plate still supports groups through reservations, event and catering notes, and a menu that shares well across appetizers, soups, noodles, curries, and rice dishes. Calling ahead is the right move for larger parties.

8

Bounty Fish & Chips

8.8
Group-Friendly · 6.0
Fish & Chips · Downtown Orillia · $$

Seafood platter options, multiple fish choices, chicken fingers, salads, and sides give a group several paths through the menu. Use one platter as the anchor, then add chips, coleslaw, and chowder.
